Once upon a time it was easy to believe I could BE anything...DO anything... all I needed was hard work and persistance.
Years later, I know now that life is not that easy and sometimes no matter how hard you try, one mistake can ruin it all.
That said, I also learned to pick myself up, dig deep & realize that the hardest battles are those we fight within ourselves...we must BELIEVE TO ACHEIVE!

About Me

I am married to a wonderful man and we both love to ride our Harley's. We don't have children, except for our 2 spoiled dogs.
I grew up an only child/ military "brat",traveling all over: 5 years in Japan, 7 years in Denmark and then a year alone in Spain as an Au-Pair.
I speak 3 languages and have a nursing degree. I currently work as the office manager/collection agent for a temporary staffing company with my father.
Dancing with my hubby is one of my favorite hobbies- the world is perfect for as long as I twirl in his arms. His motto is" he is the frame and I am the picture"- it can't get much sweeter!
I almost always have my nose in a book, or jotting down notes for writing, be it articles, blogs or poetry.
I have an artsy side, from my mother- beading, painting, projects with wood, & light sewing.
I love to learn new things and I devote alot of time to fundraising, esp. for the local Humane Shelter.

Since it's Wednesday, I thought I would share some positive quotes I saw recently. I subscribe to several online newsletters/site, like Selfgrowth.com & Inspiremetoday.com. They provide great motivation and provoke new thought processes.One article had this reference from Elise Robinson:"Things may happen around you and things may happen to you, but the only thing that matters is what happens in you. In the midst of chaos, you have to brace yourself, build your faith, feed your mind with positive materials, and seek opportunities you've never considered before. You should be getting stronger, smarter, and strategizing to launch a new life, blindsiding everyone with your success..."That is so true- in fact I hardly watch the news anymore- who needs all that negativity? It can be hard enough for some people to muster the positive energy to face going to a job they don't like or dealing with family members who are making poor decisions that affect them, much less hearing about bad news around the world!So today I am actually going to leave this short post....really, a short one! :)My final thought for today may sound trite, but it is oh so true: "Tough times don't last, TOUGH PEOPLE DO!" (Robert Schuller)Today's question - how tough are you?
